There are several different thicknesses of thread for making Shetland
lace (a knitted lace)
Different manufacturers call them by different names. Historically they
all spun the yarn from Shetand wool, as it dresses well after making,
and keeps its shape.
I'm currently using one ply wool with 3mm needles. my next project will
be much finer and made from a cashmere/silk mixture.
I find Shetland lace makes a nice change from Bedfordshire
